Travel Trivia Tuesday 39

Firstly, I would like to apologise for not putting up Travel Trivia Tuesday yesterday, I was at the World Travel Market which was great fun!Steph, you were almost right! The answer is in fact 8 and these are Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Monaco and Andorra! So well done for getting 6!Now for this week's question.France is well known for it's beautiful ski slopes and mountains. What we want to know this week is, what is the name of the highest mountain peak in France, where is it and how high above sea level is it? You can have an extra point if you can tell me what sport was held here for the first time.
